One Room Challenge

New tile (and paint that looks like tile) completely transform this once-dated space.

The results are warm and cozy, but still bright and inviting.

The space was trapped in the early 2000s, but a DIY redo filled with luxe touches totally changed that.

"My three goals were to make the room fancy, fun and functional and I believe that I achieved all three," this DIYer says — the perfect trio for a formal-meets-family-friendly dining room.

The new color is bold and bright — just what this windowless bathroom needed.

Major MCM-spiration incoming.

Simple paint projects make a major difference in this now-rainbow-hued room.

The multiple projects involved in this room redo help give it tons of character.

"The after is just an entire vibe!" this DIYer says. "It's warm, soulful, and sophisticated."

It's colorful and pattern-happy, but still manages to be a calming escape.

This basement went from "cold, dated, dark, and dreary" to "light, bright, stylish living area."

"I pictured transforming this bathroom into an old-world-style spa," this DIYer says. It seems like a tall order based on the all-beige before, but wait until you see how she pulled it off.

Looking to keep your same surfaces but spruce up your bathroom? This project has inspiration and ideas galore.

The redo features other smart DIYs, too, like fresh trim and a whimsical painted piano.

The new bathroom boasts a half painted, half wallpapered design.

The new built-ins are more functional — thanks to to-the-ceiling shelving — and more stylish, too.

Thanks to budget finds and DIYs, the bedroom looks totally different — all for under $1,000.

And it's proof that IKEA can look luxe.

"I got some raised eyebrows when I told people I was painting the dining room pink and painting a mural on the wall," DIYer Natalie Metzger says. But her advice when it comes to paint is to "just go for it."

This kitchen transformation shows how to revamp dated surfaces without breaking the bank.

The makeover was inspired by a stylish wallpaper buy.

Painting the cabinets made them unrecognizable from their orange-ish wood stain before and had a big impact on the whole kitchen.

It's still completely functional for the family, but now with lots more luxe style.

A just-OK 2014 bathroom gets a stylish and serene budget-friendly makeover.

The new wall treatment looks high-end and makes the whole room feel more soothing.
